Glittermitten Grove is a management simulator video game developed by Mostly Tigerproof and published by Adult Swim Games for Windows on 2016-12-26.

You manage a band of fairies who will prune trees, collect sparkles, and build tree houses and various other buildings. You must grow fruit trees for food and keep the larger trees from blocking out the sun for the smaller trees. As the grove becomes more populated, you begin to explore underground using fireworks to blast holes and uncover treasure chests and other useful items.

Personal

Own?	Yes. On Steam and itch.io.
Won?	No. The game doesn't have a win condition.

I got this game in a Humble Bundle. It's silly-sounding title interested me, and I found the game very enjoyable upon playing.

Good

• The game is extremely cutsie and fey, which makes sense.
• The soundtrack by Ryan Ike is really impressive.
• The game's graphics are quite attractive.

Bad

• The game needed a bit more complexity. You do pretty much everything the game has to offer on your first play-through.
• The game crashed on me several times. I almost gave up on it.

Ugly

• Nothing.
